It's not what you paint (or draw) that counts but how you paint and why you paint.

HOWI work in many different mediums both wet and dry. I also work in a variety of styles; tight or loose, realistic or abstract.

WHYBecause I love painting and drawing. I love experimenting with materials and techniques. I love to practise and develop as an artist and as a person. I want my art and my life to make the world a better place, if possible!

Kids adventure booksby Nigel a. Bernardcover illustrations by me

I highly recommend this book written for children age 9 - 12 years old. I have now read this twice to my two children and they were both as enthralled and excited by it the second time as they were the first.It is a relatively short story ideal for bedtime reading either to or by your child. As the title suggests, it is an adventure story, full of drama, humour and a little bit of mischief.

He's done it again! Another fantastic adventure story starring Charlie Lupton and pals. Dare I say even funnier than the first book - it's another little gem that had my 9 year old son in fits of laughter. Nigel has come up with another very well thought out plot that involves Charlie searching for some buried treasure and saving the care home that looks after his dear old Grandpa. This is British storytelling for young kids at it's best.

Charlie Lupton and the Orchid PrincessTestimony by Nigel A. Bernard"Glyn has produced the pictures for the front covers of all three of my `Charlie Lupton’ books. The pictures are skilfully drawn with great use of colour and careful attention to detail. A key part of the process has been Glyn’s willingness to collaborate and share ideas before embarking on the drawings. `Sherpa Adventure’ and `Cavalier’s Treasure’ show his ability to convey dramatic action and the `Orchid Princess’ demonstrates he can combine separate elements into an overall theme. He is also not afraid to give the pictures an abstract twist such as the blurred speedometer on `Sherpa Adventure’ and the shining orchid on `Orchid Princess’. As any children’s author would agree, the front cover of a book is crucial and Glyn’s work has played a major part in the success of the books."
